Break Free from Microsoft’s Costly Trap: Secure Your Business (and Budget) with Linux Today!

Microsoft’s forcing your hand—upgrade your hardware or risk your software compatibility and requirements. But here’s the truth: it’s a trap, and you don’t have to play along. At Duluth Security Needs, we harness over 25 years of experience in IT—more than a decade specializing in Linux—to free businesses and neighbors like you from Microsoft’s planned obsolescence. Our Windows-to-Linux Migration Services turn your “outdated” systems into secure, high-performance machines that can run Windows 11 without spending a dime on new hardware. Call 888-888-LINUX for a free consultation and reclaim control over your technology.

Microsoft’s Upgrade Racket: Don’t Fall for It

On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 support ends, leaving your systems exposed without security updates - on an already insecure platform - unless you pay for pricey patches or upgrade to Windows 11—which demands newer hardware for no good reason. This isn’t about better software; it’s about Microsoft milking your budget. Your computers aren’t “too old”—they’re victims of artificial barriers. Why let a corporation dictate your expenses when a better, time tested, proven solution to running Windows 11 on your current computer hardware exists right here in Duluth?

Linux: Faster. Safer. Smarter. Yours.

Imagine your computers running smoother, faster, and more securely—without constant reboots, bloatware, or forced upgrades—for decades. That’s Linux. We migrate your setup to:  

• Run on Existing Hardware: No forced purchases. We’ve made 20-year-old PCs outperform brand-new Windows machines with unparalleled reliability.

• Stay Secure: Open-source means fewer vulnerabilities and no waiting on Microsoft’s problematic patchy updates.  

• High Performance: Unlike a generic, one-size-fits-all operating system kernel, we compile Linux from source code for your specific computers to take full advantage of your hardware's maximum speed and unique capabilities, with zero bloat—just pure efficiency engineered for your purpose.

• Mission Critical Reliability: Linux is famous for set-it-and-forget-it, saving you money by boosting productivity while eliminating downtime and constant troubleshooting. We have provided many systems that have not required reboots for years.

• User Friendliness: Linux runs "under the hood" on the bare metal computer system, providing a solid platform for Windows to run in the foreground; you continue using the same Windows environment you have grown familiar with, on the same computer system with a superior configuration.

• Backed by Local Support: We are not simply technology equipment salespeople. We are solutions providers who produce guaranteed results with personalized support. We will serve you and your team as your trusted partner every step of the way, from the initial setup to ensuring long term reliability and consistent results. Customer support is always only a phone call away, and we do not charge any fees for questions or basic phone support!

Visit our Greysolon Plaza showroom to see it live—bring your “obsolete” machine, and we’ll prove it. We invite you to our grand opening in August 2025!

Why Trust Us? Because We’re Your Neighbors—and Linux Warriors.

With 25+ years in IT and a decade mastering Linux migrations and managing Microsoft Windows dependency, we’re not just consultants; we’re your partners in independence. Our founder, Bryan Russell, has been compiling Linux from scratch since the early days, turning “old” hardware into speed demons. We’re the same team that’s been protecting Duluth with top-tier security systems—now, we’re safeguarding your digital future too.

A Mission, Not Just a Service

You might remember Bryan from the Duluth News Tribune (read the story here)—he’s a problem-solver who sees solutions where others see dead ends. This isn’t about profit; it’s about uprooting a system that bleeds our community dry. Microsoft’s inefficiencies and insecurities have no place here, and we’re offering you an escape.
